Verdict
Yanifer just failed to get up at Salisbury and is better than he showed at Chelmsford where he never got into contention. He can bounce back though GOSNAY GOLD looks the one to beat after being headed close home in a better class race at Goodwood. Lexington Liberty has been running well and should give a good account but Beastie Boy looked as though he needed further when staying on over a mile at Yarmouth. Bomb Squad didn't enjoy dropping back to 6f after beaten a neck over this trip at Brighton and could provide the main threat.
